Lucky to be down only 12 at the half.
Only Bonner can save us now.
Right. A call up might depend on who leaves the team.

so i take it he msut be replacing ratliff's spot?
Do you really think the Spurs will buy out Mason? That would really hurt their overall depth at the wing spot. IMO I don't see the Spurs doing that.
^--- what's the "42" mean in your sig pic?
Do any of you think that Hairston can work his way into the rotation in the 2nd half this season?
We don't even know yet if he's been called up to the team...
When did Hairston become such a great player, and the Spurs savior. If he was that good he would have played by now.
its ratliff jeez.....
Um, Spurs now have 13 players, the NBA minimum. They may call him up, but ain't nobody gettin' bought out.
im not even going to get my hopes up, id bet my two balls he doesnt get even 2 minutes in any game and will probably be back to the d-league within 10 days.
pop just likes to tease him.
Yeah! What were you guys thinking? You think he's on the level of the great Matt Boner? Mike Finley? These guys get playing time because they're obviously amazing players. There's no way Hairston's on Mike Finley's level. Malik could never completely fold like Matt Boner does. He doesn't deserve playing time!
The theory that Hairston and Mahinmi don't get minutes because "if they were good enough, they would play" simply isn't true IMO..it doesn't make any sense at all..
I also hate when somebody makes a comment like "the savior"..nobody has said that..we recognize that there's a chance that Hairston won't even end up being the player we want him to be..
GO YOUNGER, give this guy some mins and IAN too and try to save a season! Otherwise it is already lost because his rotations now are not working and they are not getting any younger. Develop talent for next year when others will be gone and if they come up big and you win more it's a bonus! What to lose now? This is not a le team, they are top 5 in the West at BEST.
I hope they call him up and play him some, Ian too since Theo is gone.
Yeah, it went through

Its seems every d-league player is....
+1
*Whoosh* right past your head.
Add Ian to the line up and give him some mins.....plzzzz pop plzzzzzz
Hairston with the Spurs could mean a number of things:
-The Spurs told him to stick around for the end of the Rodeo Road Trip for camaraderie reasons. They've done similar in the past.
-The Spurs could have told him to stay close in case he's needed due to a trade at the deadline. This makes the most sense, IMO.
-Mahinmi, RMJ or Finley may soon be bought out -- thus Hairston will need to suit up.
-The Spurs think Hairston is ready to contribute on the NBA level. Trading Ratliff was meant to open up a roster spot for him.
I guess we'll soon find out the real reason.
Finley will never be bought out, don't tease me timvp!!!
Why do you think this is not true? What have you seen from Mahimni and Hairston to suggest they are good enough to play in the NBA? I personally wouldn't mind to see them get some playing time so that I could assess whether they are worth having around or not but I highly doubt they will be a huge difference maker or else the coaching staff would have utilized them already. I don't understand why people think the Spurs' coaching staff are suddenly morons. The most logical reason is that Mahinmi and Hairston are simply not that good.
The way this season has gone, anyone of them makes sense. My hope is to at least give the guy a chance. But sadly Pop is Pop - one stubborn old fart.
My guess is that Pop plays Hairston over Mason as a punishment for publicly speaking out about frustration over fluctuation in minutes. I think we'll see that play out in Philly tomorrow.
Whether it's a long-term thing, I don't know...but that's just my guess.
